away very badly. Billy Cope had the pole and stepped right along with Grandma racing him on the out- side. Before the half was reached, Marjorie M. was challenging Billy and they raced neck and neck around the turn up the back stretch and into the home stretch. There a great battle ensued for the mastery. Miss Winnipeg who had been back trailing, came through at the pole and Lucky Lindy came on the out- side, so that the four horses finish- ed almost neck and neck, it being without doubt the prettiest finish of the whole meeting, the Grandstand all on their feet. The horses were so closely bunched that the Judges found it difficult to pick them. The heat was awarded to Marjorie M., although many thought that Miss Winnipeg had won. Miss Winnipeg was placed second. Billy cope third and Lucky Lindy fourth. Grandma who had made the pace early in the game, finished a good fifth and Maxine Great sixth. Real Worthy was distanced but was placed sev- enth owing to receiving a bad stint.

Second Heat. — The horses got away on the fourth score and rounding the turn Marjorie was in the lead with Miss Winnipeg trail- ing. Grandma on the outside with Billy Cope trailing. They raced that way up the back stretch when Mar- jorie drew ahead and Billy tucked in behind. Lucky Lindy also made a try but fell back.

Third Heat. They got away with

very little scoring, Lucky Lindy flying on the outside grabbed the pole before the back stretch was reached, Marjorie tucked in be- hind, Billy Cope trailing Marjorie, the others strung out. At the quar- ter Marjorie came out from behind Lindy and paced by him, Lindy falling into trailing position, Billy trailing Lindy. They kept this or- der with Grandma racing on the outside and Miss Winnipeg trailing Billy Cope, until the home stretch when each made another great try. Billy Cork tried in get through be- tween. Lindy and the fence, got hung up on Lindy's wheel, but managed to get through a little later to beat Lindy for third loo- sition, Billy finishing at Marjorieb wheel. Grandma furnished the sur- prise by coming through with a sensational burst of speed on the outside of Lindy. and beat Billy by a head for second position. Miss Winnipeg and Maxine Great had a fight for fifth. Marjorie M., Miss Winnipeg, Grandma and Maxine Great were racing their second trip during the meeting, while it was Billy Ccpe's third race in eight days, ho‘ having raced at Montague the Friday week previously. 2.21 CLASS TBOT MARITIME BRED- There is always consider- able interest taken in this race. It had a good. list of entries, namely ten, every one being a starter, a most unique thing in racing an- nals. It was difficult to mck a wln_- ner but most people tnought Miss La Aubrey would come through as she had showed up well at New Annan. As a matter of fact she tcry nearly did so only losing the decision by a neck. She looks like a good prospect for future racial as she is a steady, true trotter-
